From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

He's Youtuber. Patreon gives his YouTube ad free. Repo is on its way according to video.
Should be there before release. Shaaaady
But they get that schweet, schweet ad revenue... hatchacha~!
Assuming it’s gpl or something, you only need to provide the source with binary distributions of the product. Anyone in the patreon would have access to the source (I’m assuming)
According to OP it hasn't been released yet.
It’s available for download. And if you want it ad free, you pay for it.
Pretty certain the ads are in his YouTube videos and not his projecf
So what’s the difference between the paid and the free download links?
I don't think there is any, he just offered an early release to his Patron supporters (he didnt put the repo up yet)
So why have two links to the same thing?
